The article says "most of which require no new spending" but doesn't recognize that it isn't just cost behind these rules.
SROs are undesirable from the perspective of most of the community: they are broadly viewed as overcrowded, low quality, unsightly, and associated with crime. Put simply, the people who would live in an SRO are, for the most part, people not desirable in the community.
The same goes for "Make it clearly legal to open your home to someone else who needs meals and daily help". Are you running an unlicensed nursing home or halfway house? We already have rampant Medicaid fraud, and then there's cases like: https://manhattanda.org/d-a-bragg-alon-riabichev-indicted-fo....

> NIMBY blocks some nursing homes, but another barrier is that 34 states require a Certificate of Need just to add nursing home beds. You need state approval to build supply. Sixteen states go further with outright construction moratoria.
What kind of communist shit is a "Certificate of Need?"

TFA doesn't discuss why cities widely banned boarding houses. The most commonly cited reason I've heard is the decline of state mental institutions. People who would otherwise be in those facilities fell to boarding houses, and the overall quality of these facilities went down.
I'm not trying to argue that this was an appropriate response, but we shouldn't act like these were banned for no reason at all.

"Abundance" is retreaded neoliberalism, not progressive. Sigh.
